I’m giving this book a solid four stars I’m so happy that Francis lived and got out of the house. While i wish the author would have given us more of a closed ending to the book I could definitely see how the author could easily write a second book based off of this one.

This story had a slow build to the creepy/scary parts. I don’t normally read a lot of horror but I really enjoyed this. It explored themes of familial/generational curses. I really appreciated the character Noemí and her independence as a woman in this time period and her willingness to stand up for herself despite society’s expectations while still recognizing a commitment and responsibility to her family as well.

I enjoyed getting wrapped in this dark (moist?) world. The diolgue really helped with the time and place. I could easily imagine the scenes playing out in a black & white film with romantic actors. Definatly one of my fastest reads this year and one I could recommend to most my friends.

Within 10% of this book, I thought I knew exactly what was going on, but it turns out that was just the tip of the iceberg. I liked this book, it gave me the ick and the last 30-40% of the book was fast-paced and I enjoyed that.
